What do you remember about your elementary and middle school experiences? What did you learn that has had a lasting influence? Who were your most influential teachers and/or caregivers? Why?
I remember my elementary school. I remember the school violence in elementary school life. I hate school violence. I was one of the victims. Lucky for me, due to my strong ability in crying, they ignored me very soon. I felt sorry and angry for other victims. I remembered one little boy was beat on the way home by a bunch of bad boys. I was there, listening to his crying with my eyes closed. I hated these bad boys and I hated teachers too, it seemed teachers had done nothing to prevent them from hurting people. I was timid to tell my parents about everything, since both of my parents were busy, they never worried me- a perfect girl in their mind. As we grew up, these so-called bad boys changed a lot, and they regretted on what they had done. I could understand, but I would never forget the abuse and attacks they had done to other kids. These bad memories make me really sensitive towards school violence. I couldn't stand any kinds of violence in my class in Thailand. If a student reported to me about being bullied, I would get really serious about the issue. As a teacher, I would never revenge "bad boys" for my childhood nightmare, all I wanted to do was to seek the truth behind. What happened to them? What made them be so rude to classmates? As I had dealt with several of these issues, I found some of these "bad boys" were really pitiful. A boy named Jack was laughed for having no mom, so he started to being mean to others to protect others. I felt really sorry at that time, this made me think of all my "enemies" in elementary school. they must have similar or different stories too. I talked to Jake about my experience, I told what he had done might influence other people's life. In addition, I showed my love to him in front of the class. He realized my effort, but it still took me some time to help him. I had to say, it was worthy. I remember my junior high school. I remember the happiness and joy I was there. I loved my junior high school life. I enjoyed learning with awesome friends and teacher. As I have mentioned before, I was influenced by Miss Ma, my English teacher a lot. She was so creative, you would never get bored in her class. She provided lots of opportunities for us to display our talents. For example, she asked us to perform a short play before class in ten minutes. This was an awesome way for us to figure out all languages we have to use. Some students showed out their talents in writing scripts and performing. She even asked us to perform in other classes, which enhanced our confidences in learning languages. She also taught us how to use English resources and learning tools. What I have learned with her is not just English, but a way to enjoy learning. I want to be a popular teacher like her too. I try to be creative, using different methods to provoke students' multiple intelligence. Also, I am really into combining resources and teaching technologies. For closure sentence, I want to say memory never lies, it is influencing your life without you knowing it.
